autofill needs the Apply plan

You can install the extension on any plan, but it will not fill a form until your account is on Apply — the endpoint it asks for your facts refuses anything less. Everything below describes what it does once it is switched on. see pricing — $5.99/mo

browser extension

apply with your own facts

Open any internship in your feed on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or SmartRecruiters, click the Instela button, and the form fills with what you have already told us — name, school, major, graduation year, contact details, your links, and your cover letter for that role. You read it, attach your resume, and press submit.

why you still press submit

Because the alternative would be a lie. Every board these applications live on requires the employer’s own API credentials to submit anything programmatically — SmartRecruiters needs their OAuth consent, Greenhouse needs their job-board key, Lever and Ashby the same. Reading those boards is public, which is how your feed is built. Submitting is not.

So a “one-click apply” button on our site would either need permission from each of the ~500 employers in the corpus, or would have to drive their forms with a robot — which breaks their terms, is blocked by most of them, and fails in the worst possible way: telling you that you applied when you did not. You would stop tracking the role and miss the deadline, and we would have caused it.

In your own browser, none of that applies. It is your session and your click. That is why this is an extension and not a button, and it is the same reason we do not auto-answer the legal questions below.

what it will never fill

Work authorization, sponsorship, citizenship, veteran and disability status, race and gender, and any box that asks you to agree or consent to something. These are declarations you sign, not fields to save time on — getting one wrong is a false statement on your application, not a typo.

They are highlighted in amber on the page and listed in the panel as yours to answer. We never store or infer your demographics at all.

what else it leaves alone

Anything you already typed. A value we did not put there is one you chose.
The resume file upload. We keep the structured content of your resume, not the original document — so you attach your own PDF. That is the same thing the privacy policy says.
Questions only you can answer. “Why this team”, “when can you start”, salary expectations. We do not hold them, and a guess is worse than a blank you will notice.
Every field it cannot identify. The panel tells you how many those were, rather than reporting only the ones that worked.

installing it

Not in the Chrome Web Store yet — it installs from the repo in developer mode.

1. Run npm run build:extension.
2. Open chrome://extensions and turn on developer mode.
3. Choose load unpacked and select the extension/ folder.
4. Copy the extension ID Chrome shows you into EXTENSION_ORIGINS in .env, as chrome-extension://<id>, and restart the server.
5. Sign in here in the same browser, then open any internship in your feed.

Full notes are in extension/README.md.

what it sends us

The address of the page you are on, so we can tell whether it is a listing in your feed — and, when you press I submitted this, the id of that listing so your tracker is stamped and your confirmation email goes out. It does not read the employer’s page, does not watch what you type, and stores nothing about you: your facts are fetched fresh each time from the account you are already signed in to.
